Dean MacKay Photography was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, punctual, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly stunning - personal, detailed, and capturing all the special moments of our day. They were communicative and thorough, providing a level of service that felt like they were a friend of the family. The personal touch and great value they offered made them the perfect fit, and we are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Dean photographed both my bridal shower and my wedding. I felt at ease knowing he was taking the photos. I truly wanted and his editing was immaculate. Everything was delivered on time, and as I was delivered photos, he kept me in constant communication when the rest would be delivered. I cannot recommend enough. I no longer live in California, but would happily pay to have him fly to photograph any event I may have in the future.

I am a traveling documentary wedding film photographer. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 6 years as a wedding photographer.

Dominic was hands down our favorite vendor for our wedding!! I knew from our first conversation that he was the photographer we wanted. Truly an artist paying attention to each detail from the textures for the photos to the genuine emotions of those he's photographing. So insanely incredible to work with. Personable, responsive, attentive, and just a great person overall. Dominic was able to capture so many meaningful and fun moments during our day. I love his use of film. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. His style and texture make the wedding photos more than just capturing the day, it's truly artwork I proudly display in my home. Yes, we printed every. single. picture. Hire this man.

Lauren Gdowski (she/her/hers) is a bright and true-to-life wedding photographer for the couples who want a worry-free day! After months of rigorous planning, you'll finally be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day. The culmination of your hard work doesn't last long, so taking in those fleeting moments should be your top priority. That's where I come in... I'll guide you through a stress-free day, capturing fleeting moments so you get to relive them time and time again.

Lauren was absolutely amazing, she made my wedding so easy to do and so beautiful when they were done. I had my original photographer stop communicating with me, so I found Lauren late into my wedding planning and I was already very stressed out. But she eased my nerves and made it such an easy process to figure out what photos I wanted done. She was always quick to respond when I had a question about the photos, and she was so helpful with her knowledge of weddings in general. I have attached some of my photos to this review because I honestly can not praise her enough. She does incredible work and is a wonderful person!

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

Wild Irish Rose Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our date and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it! She made the engagement photo session so easy to laugh in and get to know her and the location she picked was amazing. We're both awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us! As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses. We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless. On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter kept everyone calm and were so gracious even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) My getting ready photos/first look with my family are some that I'll treasure as some of my favorites because of the emotion captured. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing having to play catch up. Our private couple's session was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such grace that it wasn't noticed by our guests. The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked that we got them the next day! They were so special and made us even more eager to see them all. All that said, I can't recommend Kristin enough!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!
